The family-owned Phuoc Thanh’s original Richmond bakery has been a beacon for banh mi lovers for more than 20 years. The bread, baked fresh daily, is so consistent (and consistently crusty) that it’s supplied to banh mi bar Ca Com. Just as unwavering is the pork, whether grilled, imparting its juicy goodness throughout your roll, or in chunks crowned with crispy crackling.

Good to know: Phuoc Thanh has since expanded to the CBD and Chadstone.
